Since Mama's Bail Out in May of this year, we've bailed out 62 of our neighbors with another 4 approved and waiting to be bailed out! That accounts for $2,220,700 dollars in set bail! Of that amount, we posted $267,070 to get folk free.

This was all possible due to your steadfast support! We are temporarily closed to new requests as our fund is just about tapped out. We are counting on some of this bail money to be returned as cases close, but in the meantime more of our neighbors are languishing in jail waiting for their day in court.​Will you help us get up and running again?
